1942 Map of Shelburn
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Coal extraction and rural agriculture define the landscape of central Sullivan County in the late 1930s. The bustling rail hub of Shelburn serves as a focal point, where the Chicago And Eastern Illinois railroad connects smaller settlements like Curryville and Standard. This 1942 edition captures the transition from small-scale farming to industrial operations, notably marked by the presence of the Linda Lou Mine south of the main town site.
